to use regular expressions and format strings, rather
than strptime/strftime, to generically support
pre-1900 dates, dates with microseconds. [ticket:968]
- turned properties in sql/expressions.py to @property
- column.in_(someselect) can now be used as
a columns-clause expression without the subquery
bleeding into the FROM clause [ticket:1074]
selectable by orm.query (they already had most ColumnElement
semantics).
- Added select_from() method to exists() construct, which becomes
more and more compatible with a regular select().
- Bind parameters/literals given a True/False value will detect
their type as Boolean
of elements as FROM clauses, allowing them to be used more
effectively in the columns clause of a SELECT.
- and_() and or_() now generate a ColumnElement, allowing
boolean expressions as result columns, i.e.
select([and_(1, 0)]). [ticket:798]
which basically allows for their return type to be determined
automatically. Helps with dates on SQLite, decimal types,
others. [ticket:1160]
- added decimal.Decimal as an "auto-detect" type; bind parameters
and generic functions will set their type to Numeric when a
Decimal is used.
and instead uses subqueries in conjunction with a special
Oracle optimization comment. Allows LIMIT/OFFSET to work
in conjunction with DISTINCT. [ticket:536]
to 'scale'. 'length' is deprecated and is still accepted
with a warning. [ticket:827]
- The 'length' argument to MSInteger, MSBigInteger, MSTinyInteger,
MSSmallInteger and MSYear has been renamed to 'display_width'.
[ticket:827]
- mysql._Numeric now consumes 'unsigned' and 'zerofill' from
the given kw, so that the same kw can be passed along to Numeric
and allow the 'length' deprecation logic to still take effect
- added testlib.engines.all_dialects() to return a dialect for
every db module
- informix added to sqlalchemy.databases.__all__. Since other
"experimental" dbs like access and sybase are there, informix
should be as well.
and not its contained expression, if the dialect reports true for supports_simple_order_by_label.
the flag is not propagated forwards, meant to closely mimic the syntax Postgres expects which is
that only a simple name can be in the ORDER BY, not a more complex expression or function call
with the label name embedded (mysql and sqlite support more complex expressions).
This further sets the standard for propigation of **kwargs within compiler, that we can't just send
**kwargs along blindly to each XXX.process() call; whenever a **kwarg needs to propagate through,
most methods will have to be aware of it and know when they should send it on forward and when not.
This was actually already the case with result_map as well.
The supports_simple_order_by dialect flag defaults to True but is conservatively explicitly set to
False on all dialects except SQLite/MySQL/Postgres to start.
[ticket:1068]
- broke up adapter chaining in eagerload, erroneous "wrapping" in row_decorator. column_property() subqueries are now affected only by the ORMAdapter for that mapper. fixes [ticket:1037], and may possibly impact some of [ticket:949]
- @unsupported now only accepts a single target and demands a reason
for not running the test.
- @exclude also demands an exclusion reason
- Greatly expanded @testing.requires.<feature>, eliminating many
decorators in the suite and signficantly easing integration of
multi-driver support.
- New ORM test base class, and a featureful base for mapped tests
- Usage of 'global' for shared setup going away, * imports as well
- With declarative, joined table inheritance mappers use a slightly relaxed
function to create the "inherit condition" to the parent
table, so that other foreign keys to not-yet-declared
Table objects don't trigger an error.
FROM clauses, such as select().select_from(text("sometext"))
[ticket:1014]
- removed _TextFromClause; _TextClause just adds necessary FromClause descriptors
at the class level
- this branch changes query.values() to immediately return an iterator, adds a new "aliased" construct which will be the primary method to get at aliased columns when using values()
- tentative ORM versions of _join and _outerjoin are not yet public, would like to integrate with Query better (work continues in the branch)
- lots of fixes to expressions regarding cloning and correlation. Some apparent ORM bug-workarounds removed.
- to fix a recursion issue with anonymous identifiers, bind parameters generated against columns now just use the name of the column instead of the tablename_columnname label (plus the unique integer counter). this way expensive recursive schemes aren't needed for the anon identifier logic. This, as usual, impacted a ton of compiler unit tests which needed a search-n-replace for the new bind names.
as values by default, meaning case([(x==y, "foo")]) will
interpret "foo" as a bound value, not a SQL expression.
use text(expr) for literal SQL expressions in this case.
For the criterion itself, these may be literal strings
only if the "value" keyword is present, otherwise SA
will force explicit usage of either text() or literal().
ahead of the tablename in all column expressions as well
as when generating column labels. This prevents cross-
schema name collisions in all cases [ticket:999]
- the "use_schema" argument to compiler.visit_column() is removed. It uses
schema in all cases now.
- added a new test to the PG dialect to test roundtrip insert/update/delete/select
statements with full schema qualification
